Pet care experience
Hello there! I'm Michaela, your friendly neighborhood house sitter here in Shawnee, Kansas. If you're in need of a responsible and trustworthy individual to look after your home while you're away, I'm your go-to person! I have had at least 1 dog since childhood. I am currently the proud human companion to 3 dogs, a cat, turtle and chinchilla. My 13-year-old daughter has pet sitting jobs with our friends and neighbors and she sometimes helps me with mine as well. She even has experience with horses as she rides weekly and helps at her stables. We both love animals and enjoy spending our time with them. With my house-sitting services, you can rest assured that your pets will be well taken care of with regular feeding and any necessary walks or playtime. I can help with your other essential task such as plants, taking out trash, collecting mail, etc. I understand the importance of maintaining a secure and well-kept home, and I take pride in providing top-notch care for all of these essential tasks. As a home owner I know the importance of putting things back where they belong. If you're interested in having me look after your home, feel free to send me a message and we can discuss all the details. Your peace of mind is my top priority, so you can leave home knowing that everything is in capable hands. Let's chat and ensure your next trip away is worry-free!

Reviews
My two most loved kitties (four months old) got the opportunity to stay with Michaela and her family for a week. Their stay was perfect, a home-away-from-home. Michaela had a large area, a bedroom and bathroom, set up for them to stay before being introduced to the rest of the pets. We supplied the food, cat litter, and some toys. Michaela had toys as well. Michaela sent plenty of photos every day. Photos of the family interacting with them, photos of the kitties playing, eating, and sleeping. Before we left for our trip, I was worried about our babies, but I shouldn't have. The little guys appeared to really like their stay. So for future trips, we will definitely be calling on Michaela.
Michaela did an excellent job taking care of our elderly Yorkie. She came and spent a good amount of time with her for every visit, she kept me updated, and sent pictures. I trust her to keep an eye on our pup and home. We will definitely use her again!
Awesome care taker ! Michela went extra mile by sending us regular pics of our dog Simba and also very kind to give some home made treats for simba! Aww that’s so nice of her ! Highly recommend her😁
Michaela is amazing!! My puppies love her!! They look forward to seeing her every day!! 🩷

I have a doggy door and fenced in back yard for my pups. If your pet is allowed on future and in the bed, than they can expect that in my home as well. We even have a chair specifically for our dogs in the front room next to their kennels. We have all LVT and hardwood floors so accidents are easy to clean, we can also put down puppy pads. ***Unneutered males over 1 year will have an extra rate of $5 a day to cover the cleaning supplies and extra time because even if they are house trained they will mark here. I am able to accommodate your individual pet needs. We have multiple levels, rooms and gates to give dogs personal time if needed. We provide lick mats, milk bones and homemade dog safe treats for the pups. I have experience administering medications to pets. Our chinchilla is caged in a secure room to keep away from dogs & cat.

Let me know what your pets needs are and I am happy to accommodate. I look forward to taking care of your pet and making you and them as comfortable as possible.
A typical day
I love to play with and snuggle the pets I watch. In the morning I will hide treats around the house to sniff out. I always separate dogs to feed them, if they don't eat I give them other opportunities throughout the day. If they aren't eating I first try mixing in a different kibble (i find they typically want someone else's foods) and if that doesn't work, I will mix in canned wet food. If they like walks, I am always eager to take them on one weather permitted. We also go out in the yard and play catch, I love a good game of tug of war as well. If your pet just needs love, I can do that too.
